By JOSEPH REBELLO Staff writer
HAYS — On the same basketball court he had played on as a schoolboy more than 13 years ago, Wall Street Journal reporter Gerald Seib heard his hometown mayor proclaim Saturday as "Gerald Seib Day."
Red and white balloons, Valentine's day hearts, a large U.S. flag, and posters saying "Jerry, We're Glad You're Home" and "God Bless You" adorned the gym at Hays' Thomas More Prep-Martian school, where about 400 city leaders, former classmates, teachers and friends gathered to wel-

Outside, the winter air sparkles like the stars in the heavens. Inside, the Kansas Union is quiet on this Monday night, virtually devoid of activity.
